Mussel-Inspired Thermoresponsive Polypeptide–Pluronic Copolymers for Versatile Surgical Adhesives and Hemostasis

Abstract: Inspired by marine mussel adhesive proteins, polymers with catechol side groups have been extensively explored in industrial and academic research. Here, Pluronic L-31 alcoholate ions were used as the initiator to prepare a series of polypeptide-Pluronic-polypeptide triblock copolymers via ring-opening polymerization of l-DOPA-N-carboxyanhydride (DOPA-NCA), l-arginine-NCA (Arg-NCA), l-cysteine-NCA (Cys-NCA), and ε-N-acryloyl lysine-NCA (Ac-Lys-NCA). These copolymers demonstrated good biodegradability, biocompa… Show more

“…[ 2 ] For example, hydrogels with tissue‐reactive functional groups, such as the catechol and aldehyde groups have demonstrated high tissue adhesiveness. [ 16,17 ] In addition, the hydrogels that are crosslinked by dynamic bonds exhibit self‐healing capacities and hydrogels formed by double crosslinking often have higher mechanical strength. [ 18,19 ] Recently, various functional hydrogels have been applied to promote wound healing.…”

“…[ 21,23 ] Additionally, the catechol and aldehyde groups used in the formation of these two bonds have been reported to improve the tissue adhesion capacity via multiple non‐covalent and covalent interactions. [ 16,17 ] Rationally introducing these two bonds into a polymer network was inspired by the curing and adhesion process that occurs in mussel glue (Scheme 1b). Marine mussels secrete a stored low pH (<5) catechol‐containing adhesive solution with Fe 3+ and this pH enables the weak mono‐complex between catechol and Fe 3+ .…”

“…ROP is another most common method used for the fabrication of redox‐responsive nanogels. The synthesis of well‐defined polypeptide architectures via ROP of N ‐carboxyanhydride (NCA) has received increasing attention during the last decade . Several reports have been published depicting the synthesis of micelles, vesicles, and nanogels by controlled ROP of NCAs .…”

“…Fibrin sealant, also referred to as "fibrin glue," is a surgical hemostatic agent derived from plasma coagulation proteins (Jackson, 2001). It has been extensively used in clinical surgeries since the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved fibrin sealant in 1998 for hemostasis and tissue sealant (Busuttil, 2003;Lu, Wang, Li, Li, Dou, et al, 2017b;Radosevich, Goubran, & Burnouf, 1997). However, fibrin glue is expensive, exhibits relatively weak tensile and adhesion strengths, and requires the support of sutures or staples (Ono et al, 2000).…”
